Take Me To Your Leader!

My mind has been ruminating lately: I'm 35 and I'm lonely. I feel anger, I feel sadness, I feel disappointment, I feel disgust, I feel huge embarassment, I feel truly lost. I'm going back and forth what I did wrong in life. I've been feeling all of these complicated emotions and I thought maybe putting them on a metaphorical paper could somehow help. So this is me testing if that will help.

It's quite funny actually because for someone who's a student of traditional astrological and philosophical thought, which carries the stoic principles, I somehow cannot channel that same approach to life. I always preach fate is a pregiven thing and that the mindset that our lives are already written out can be tremendously relieving. You know, it's like that "letting go" argument that some spiritual gurus talk about… And it's quite healthy as well because it releases you of any anxiety - why be nervous about something you have no control of? Actually, I had this friend in college when I was studying journalism, she always said that she never feels anxious because what's the point of feeling anxiety? I'm thinking, she kind of won for not caving into the pressures of life and just sailing with it. I think the way we process emotions is what makes us the way we are and maybe the idea of complete callousness is not something I'd like to see and feel myself but damn, I wish I had that stoic approach to life when it comes to my own fate. Or, maybe to phrase it better: I wish I understood it.

Maybe I wouldn't have to carry that disappointment and anger in me. Maybe I wouldn't feel hatred and repulsion towards myself. And sometimes towards others.

By popular demand, we look at the new "it" couple in Hollywood... or... are they? Their relationship has been gaining a lot of attention and a lot of mixed feelings from people. What does astrology say about their romance?

For Harry, I'm not gonna take into consideration his rising sign, even though it would be appealing to assume his ascendant is in Libra (he has a D-rated chart and there's various time births of him of unknown origin floating around the web), especially that Zoe is a Libra rising as well. He does have a Libra Moon, which can already point to someone, who values relationships and always has to be in one. It's the social butterfly aspect, sometimes people pleaser and sometimes a huge flirt. Sometimes all of the above. He has a pretty decent stellium in the airy Aquarius (Sun, Venus, Mars; his Mercury might be either in Aqua or in Pisces) so his romantic relationships will have a flavour of a certain sense of detachment, whether it's not having a type, dating unusual people, treating romantic relationships like a sexy friendship or being swept in the idea of a romantic union more than actually grounding it in reality. it's like the concept is great but the execution lacks in substance - you're creating a mental image of a relationship and enjoy it on paper but won't really think of the practicality of it or the necessary steps to carry it forward.

For Zoe things look a bit different. Her Sun and Mercury (she has an exact Mercury cazimi!) reside in a freedom-loving Sagittarius, her Venus is in Scorpio, Mars in Aries and Moon in Virgo right next to a south node.

Her chart screams with allure and attractiveness and she probably enjoys being the heartbreaker. As a Libra rising, social appeal is important to her and so is the concept of a relationship. What causes issues is Mars in her 7th house of relationships. It's like she tries to be with one person but things quite don't work out - Mars is the severing factor here that ruins the party. It is trining her Sun and Mercury, which adds to her appeal in the eyes of others but it also squares Neptune and Saturn, which raises a red flag. Mars in a square to Saturn is lack of effort and a short-lived enthusiasm (esp with Mars being in a quick fiery Aries! It wants things fast!). Some might say this is where her "always looks bored" attitude comes from. Neptune on the other hand brings illusions and being swept off your feet quickly but without a thought - which, of course doesn't have to be bad in itself but it's like you wake up one day and the bubble pops. What's left is disappointment and then, in a true Sagi fashion, a new romantic adventure arises and is being pursued.

Another thing that doesn't help her relationships is Moon with the malefic south node, which usually points to burning bridges and sour feelings.

What drew them together?

So we have two people with issues but their charts are actually pretty complimentary. What's more troublesome are current and incoming transits that are hitting both in a big way.

Let's start from Harry's Moon being on Zoe's ascendant - that creates familiarity and attachment. Their Suns are in a sextile. Her Sun also makes nice sextiles to his Aquarius planets. Sextiles are of a venusian nature so they're pretty easy-going, balanced and friendly. This combination in synastry doesn't necessarily scream lust and crazy attraction but it's a good basis for a nice, friendship-based relationships (which fits nicely with both what a Sagittarius and an Aquarius might value). Their Mars placements are also creating a sextile so the outward expression and energy levels should be matching. Mars in Aries paired with Mars in Aquarius has the potential to be a freaky combo… but is it for them? I think the Mercury-Saturn conjunction in Harry's chart might make him more reserved in all kinds of fields. Aquarians like to experiment but thet often don't value physicality as much, especially not as much as a Sagittarius does.

We find yet another sextile between their Saturn placements. Lots of sextiles, we need some tension.

And we find one in the form of a Zoe's Venus making squares to Harry's Sun and Venus. Now this is where the attraction is more… stimulating. Any Sun-Venus and Venus-Venus aspects in synastry will create the heart-eyes factor.

Her Venus is also on his Jupiter in Scorpio. You know I love talking about Jupiter in synastry, you know I love Venus-Jupiter aspects between people. This creates attraction, yes, but more so fun and an easy-going supportive energy. It's two benefics in a union, of course it will be amazing. Venus is love, allure and romance, while Jupiter is the cheerleader, the lucky charm, the big optimist and, what's important, Jupiter wants to expand. Relationships that are build on a jupiterian influence are ever-growing, full of wanting what's best for the other and learning together. So this here is a great thing, especially that Venus rules Zoe's ascendant.

But let's not forget Jupiter ruling marriage as well - it's the planet of legal matters after all. I'm not suprised they got engaged this fast.

What about Zoe's Jupiter? Hers is in a sign-based opposition to Harry's, in Taurus. Jupiter oppositions a lot of the times do bring engagements… but because opposition is tense, sometimes it can break the engagement and sometimes makes of a somewhat forced marriage. I don't think I mind it here but what's more worrying is Zoe's Jupiter being retrograde in the last degree of the sign. Remember, the great benefic is important to her because her Sun is ruled by it. It being in the 30th degree can cause things falling apart prematurely. Harry's Jupiter, on the other hand, is in a square to Sun and Venus, which might cause legal troubles. Are they made for marriage or would it be more fitting for them to never tie the knot?

Now to timing… This is where I was scratching my head.

The nice - very nice - thing is, they allegedly started dating under the influence of Jupiter. Pun very much intended because the benevolent Jupiter makes people drunk in love. But in all seriousness, if you're going through a Jupiter transit (preferably a conjunction or a trine), you most probably will have the right people send your way by the universe. It's very optimistic and future-oriented and given Jupiter is in its exaltation in Cancer, I don't see any issues here. The couple was first spotted in August, and, not to my surprise, it's when Jupiter was joined by Venus in the sign. Now think of Harry and Zoe's Venus-Jupiter conjunction in Scorpio, receiving a nice trine from the same pair of lucky planets. That is quite gorgeous, 100 points for them from the planetary gods.

But there's also something quite… interesting going on here. For Zoe around that time she started dating Harry, Saturn entered into her 7th house and is now affecting her Mars. For Harry, soon that Saturn will oppose his Moon (or, we should say, it's probably already opposing it). Now, generally it can happen that Saturn in the 7th house may bring settling down. She is currently in her 2nd house profection year - so that means her 2nd house Venus is active but also, her Mars is active (cause if the rulership). This does bring themes of love (Venus) with themes of relationships (7th house Mars) into her life but the question is, how is her Mars going to take Saturn being in the sign? It does feel like a pressure cooker. It can also happen that she will insist on continuing that relationship or, alternatively, it will last as long as Saturn is in the sign (so about 2 years left).

I would like to point out that Saturn has already caused her damage as her breakup from Channing Tatum happened when transiting Saturn opposed her Moon and squared her Sun-Mercury conjunction. Is another relationship attempt under Saturn's looming shadow a good thing or is this repeating a mistake? Having a malefic planet in the 7th often brings relationships under bad astro weather on purpose - so that malefic power will be fulfilled. The engagement falling under the tense Aries stellium in her 7th house doesn't look too promising either. It is bold, that's for sure, but how grounded it is, it's hard to gauge.

For Harry, Saturn will be opposing his Moon. This luminary signifies, among other things, the woman in your life. Oppositions usually break things off but it all depends on how is this placed in his chart, which we don't know.

The real test will come later this year when Venus goes into her retrograde season. She will station at 8° Scorpio - right on Zoe's natal Venus and just 5° away from Harry's Jupiter. The retrograde will start beginning of October and will end in the middle of November but we need to remember that the whole period of Venus being in Libra and Scorpio can bring changes. It's always hard to tell if those changes will be positive or challenging. Later in the year Mars will start to gear up to retrograde in Virgo (Zoe's Moon sign) and Leo, which can double the trouble.

The positive thing here is Jupiter. Zoe, as a Sagittarius, seems to be very sensitive to Jupiter's power. She got married in 2019 when the benefic was transiting her Sun and in the summer this year Jupiter will enter Leo for a year where it will make positive trines to her fire placements. For Harry Jupiter will oppose his Aquarius planets. Given they started dating thanks to Jup, that part of their transits looks very promising. I wouldn't be surprised if they do get married with Jupiter in Leo.

If anyone here uses Instagram, go give ya girl a follow! I know the current algorithm on ig is shite so every like/save/share/follow would help me A TON and would be MUCH MUCH appreciated 🙏🙏🙏

I will be posting weekly forecasts (I just posted the first one), some seasonal astro stuff and other fun things. The more support I'll get, the more I'll try to come up with cool content, especially that I want to utilize the fact that ig is more visual-based so it's defo going to be different than what I post here.

As you guys know I love analyzing relationships and looking at the synastry between people. Well today Venus is cazimi and so I decided on a whim that it would be a perfect time to start doing relationship readings (aside from the personal ones).

So you can now grab one on my website MERCURYTRINEMOONASTRO!

I offer friendship, romantic and business relationship readings. And just a disclaimer cause some of ya'll are cray cray and I already see situations like this so to be clear, I will only do readings on established relationships. That is: no readings between you and your favorite celebrity nor a guy you're crushing on who doesn't even know you exist.

I am, however, for example, happy to do a reading on someone you just freshy met and the relationship is evolving and going somewhere and you need some encouragement and tips.
